Lake Tahoe’s South Shore may be more heavily visited than its northern portion. However, it’s possible to take advantage of downtown convenience while still feeling as if you’ve found an out-of-the-way haven. Check into Hotel Becket, born of the union of two boutique hotel properties, to get the best of South Lake Tahoe — proximity to the outdoors as well as the action — whether your style is more superstar or lone wolf.

The setting: In the heart of the downtown South Lake Tahoe, directly across the street from Heavenly Village and walking distance to the base of the gondola, popular restaurants, bars, shops and casinos.

The appeal: The 167 rooms do classic Tahoe two ways: Newly renovated Village rooms have a contemporary design, with handcrafted architectural details such as recycled-wood doors. Woods rooms combine an alpine rustic decor with sustainable materials. Despite proximity to restaurants, the hotel’s Ten Crows restaurant is conveniently open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and its Southern barbecue dishes add to the casual vibe.

Insider’s tips: The Borrow a Bernese program allows dog lovers to take Remington, the hotel dog, for a walk to view his favorite neighborhood highlights. With its outdoor heaters, fire pits, indoor-outdoor bar and flat-screen TVs, Ten Crows is a low-key place to hang out to watch the game of the week or enjoy après ski.

Good to know: One central check-in has been created in the front building for the entire hotel, but some cabdrivers may still drop new guests at the back building for check-in (so be sure to provide the address, as well).
